NFL HOPING TO WIN BACK CONSERVATIVES WITH SUPER BOWL PERFORMANCE BY SPANISH-SPEAKING MAN IN DRESS

U.S. — The National Football League is apparently working double time to win back its conservative fanbase by planning a Super Bowl halftime show with a Spanish-speaking man in a dress.

Puerto Rican rapper and singer Bad Bunny has officially signed with the NFL to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show in what experts are calling a desperate bid to attract conservative viewership.

“Conservatives are going to love this,” NFL Chairman Roger Goodell said. “They’re always talking about the brave Latinx people and gender roles.”

Bad Bunny, who champions a new masculinity with his floral dresses, short shorts, and (more…)

HALF-FULL REPORT 10/03/25

[youtube id=”Z_JOGmXpe5I”]

This scene in Mel Brook’s 1974 excruciatingly funny and politically incorrect classic, Blazing Saddles, perfectly encapsulates the Dem idiocy of the Schumer Shutdown: “Nobody move or we’ll shoot ourselves.”

What could possibly prompt the Dems to choose “taxpayer-funded healthcare for illegal aliens” as their political hill to die on?  The backlash against this has been so strong, the Schumercrats now deny their advocating this. Watch Vice-President Vance explain the clear facts:

THE TOMB OF THE FRAGRANT CONCUBINE

tomb-of-the-fragrant-concubinePrincess Iparhan, granddaughter of the ruler of the Silk Road oasis of Kashgar, was so famous for her beauty and the intoxicating natural aroma of her body that the Manchu Emperor far to the east called for her. She was 22, the year was 1756. The Emperor became completely infatuated with her, making Iparhan his Imperial Noble Consort, loving her deeply until her death 33 years later in 1789.

In mourning, the Emperor kept his promise to her that her body would be returned to Kashgar and buried in the mausoleum of Apak Hoja, built in 1640 by her Apaki (more…)

VAST FRAUD OF SOMALI MIGRANTS LED BY ILHAN OMAR IS FINALLY EXPOSED

This week, federal officials made an astounding announcement: Nearly half of all immigrants in greater Minneapolis were found to have committed some form of immigration fraud.

The fraud, uncovered in a September sweep, came in all kinds — sham marriages, fake death certificates and “other bizarre schemes,” as US Citizenship and Immigration Services Director Joseph Edley put it.

But the revelation was no great surprise to those of us who have followed the settlement of some 100,000 Somali immigrants in Minnesota over the past three decades. As far back as 2008, the State Department temporarily suspended one (more…)

HOW TO BE AGE-LESS

[Durk and I had many a conversation about a nutritional formula that he and Sandy were very proud of creating.  There is a mechanism in your body responsible for so many aging maladies, and their formula either stopped it or slowed it way down. They called their formula AGEless for good reason. I’m so grateful to Greg and Michelle making it available.—JW]  

This is about protecting Your Health at the Cellular Level.

Aging brings with it many invisible changes in the body. One of the most damaging is the buildup of Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs). These compounds form when sugars attach to proteins and fats in your body, creating “sticky” molecules that:

  • Damage tissues and organs.
  • Contribute to inflammation and oxidative stress.
  • Weaken the kidneys, eyes, skin, blood vessels, and nerves.
  • Speed up the aging process.

 

The challenge is clear: AGEs silently accumulate year after year, leaving behind lasting damage. The good news is that science—and smart nutrition—can help. (more…)

BUZKASHI

buzkashiSong Kul. Kyrgyzstan. Here, 10,000 feet high along the shores of Lake Song Kul, Kyrgyz nomads play buzkashi, where men on horseback fight with whips, fists, elbows over a goat carcass (simulated for us in a heavy canvas bag) weighing some 40 pounds. There are no rules. Whoever gets the carcass to the goal line and drops it into the circle there, scores.

This ancient game has been played for thousands of years by the nomads of Mongolia, Afghanistan, and Central Asia. The nomads who encamp at Song Kul are playing fiercely but actually having a lot of fun (more…)

WELCOME TO THE WAR DEPARTMENT BECAUSE THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE IS OVER

war-dept-reforms[On Sept. 30, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth delivered an address at Marine Corps Base Quantico to an unprecedented gathering of hundreds of admirals, generals, and senior military leaders. This is the transcript in full. This is a turning point in America’s modern military history.  TTP feels strongly that TTPers should consider reading it entire. The video of SecWar Hegseth’s 6,000 word/45 minute speech is here.]

 

Mr. Chairman, the Joint Chiefs, generals, admirals, commanders, officers, senior enlisted, NCOs, enlisted and every member of our American military, good morning. Good morning, and welcome to the War Department, because the era of the Department of Defense is over.

You see, the motto of my first platoon was, “Those who long for peace must prepare for war.” This is, of course, not a new idea. This crowd knows that. The origin dates to the fourth century Rome and has been repeated ever since, including by our first commander-in-chief, George Washington, the first leader of the War Department. It (more…)

COMEY IS INDICTED BUT HIS REAL CRIMES REMAIN UNTOUCHED

comey-crimesWe have no idea whether the current DOJ indictments will lead to a conviction of James Comey, namely that he authorized FBI subordinates to leak to the media and then lied about it, obstructing Congress in the process.

It may come down to the word of Comey, a known fabricator, against the testimony of his former subordinate, Andrew McCabe, an admitted liar. Take your pick.

We know, however, that Comey is not facing a Trumpian $500 million in potential fines, nor 93 indictments, nor the scrutiny of five different local, state, and federal prosecutors. Nor, like some of the J6 (more…)

THE MOST ANCIENT SYMBOL OF REVERENCE FOR EXISTENCE

swaswallI found this religious decoration on the outer wall of an old mosque in the three-thousand year-old Silk Road oasis city of Bukhara. I’ve seen it in many places throughout the world, such as ancient ruins of India and Rome. Yet this is far older – it was carved onto mammoth ivory by Ice Age hunters in Ukraine 12,000 years ago.

From time immemorial has it represented eternity, prosperity, the centeredness of all that is. Why? Look up into the sky on a clear dark night. All people have studied the heavens for eons. You could always know where you (more…)

TRUMP’S GAZA PLAN IS THE BEST CHANCE TO END THIS WAR

[Note: 20-point Trump Gaza Plan appended in full below]

The Trump plan represents the best hope so far for ending the war in Gaza, giving some prospect of normality and prosperity for the people of Gaza and of developing a sustainable peace in the wider Middle East.

It has also completely turned the tables on Hamas. With Israel and Arab countries on board, the ball is now entirely in Hamas’s court and their response will show the world what many of us have long known: it is not Israel that has kept this war going but Hamas. War or peace is in their hands as it has been from (more…)

NEW AMERICA VS OLD AMERICA

new-vs-old

[This Monday’s Archive was originally published in TTP on February 26, 2009, just over one month after Obama’s 1st inauguration. Today, we are witnessing Trump’s 2nd presidency creating a New America replacing the Old.  How it got old is explained by applying the cross-link theory of aging to politics.]

The current leader of Japan has the most appropriate name for a politician in world history.  He is Prime Minister Taro Aso, pronounced “ass-hoe.”

This week (2/24), Prime Minister Aso met President Zero in the White House.  Albeit that, at 47, the American is the junior of the Japanese by 21 years and embodies youth and fitness, it was nonetheless a meeting of Old Japan and Old America.

The Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) has had a monopoly of power in Japan since the end of World War II.  Here is how Hidekazu Kawai, professor emeritus of (more…)

STRANGLER FIG

strangler-figChristmas Island, Indian Ocean, Australia. This huge banyan tree no longer exists. It’s been slowly strangled to death for up to a century.

Seeds of fig vines were deposited by bird droppings in the upper branches of the tree, which sprouted and began to grow downward along the tree trunk, sucking nutrients from the tree along the way. Slowly year after year, they coil and wrap around the entire trunk to the ground, literally strangling the tree out of existence until all that’s left are the huge enveloping fig vines. It’s hollow inside – look carefully above the ground roots (more…)

FLASHBACK FRIDAY: RIDING A YAK AT RANGDUM

Rangdum Gompa, Zanskar, August 1993. Ever ridden a yak? Brandon did when was 10 at the Rangdum Tibetan Monastery or Gompa atop a small hill at 13,225 feet high in an extremely remote region of the Himalayas in India called Zanskar. It was part of our Indian Tibet expedition which will be repeating soon – and this time Brandon will be leading the expedition. I’ll just be along for the ride.

LOGO UPDATE! DEMOCRAT DONKEY NOW CARRYING SNIPER RIFLE

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In an update to make the party’s longtime insignia more accurate in reflecting its modern platform and constituency, Democrats unveiled a new logo featuring a donkey holding a sniper rifle.

Following a rash of violent crimes perpetrated by members of the political left, the Democrat Party held a closed-door meeting that determined adding a sniper rifle to the logo would best depict what the party stands for and who it represents.

“It’s the perfect illustration of what our party stands for,” said Ken Martin, head of the Democrat National Committee. “Everyone has known the donkey as the (more…)
